Button has been besieged by lawyers
and drummers this week, who were brought
there by the failure of w. 7. Greene. Mr..
Greene sold out his mercantile business TO
his brother. H. NJ. Greene, last Friday, but
his creditors are trying TO have the sale set
aside and a receiver appointed. Mr.. Greene
was one of the towns leading merchants,
and for several years has done heavy
credit business. A failure to collect is said
to have caused his misfortune.
1t is said that the reason Sells Bros circus
didn't go to Southwest Georgia was because
the management of the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway refused to give the
combination transportation over that road
on account of the trouble they had three
years ago. when, it will be remembered, the
white canvassmen had a falling out with
the colored employees of the concern, and
dumped every colored man from the train
between brownsville and Albany.
An old man by the name of Laviner had
the misfortune to get his leg broken some
time in September last and on Saturday
last he was taken to the Randolph County
Poor Farm to be cared for. On account of
neglect or bad management the broken leg

little hope was entertained of his recovery.
1t was evidently necessary to take off the
leg, which was done by Drs. McLester and
Shelly, but the poor sufferer died Tuesday
evening.

acknowledged finding it, and ''forked it

George w. Clark and Son, grocers of
Griffin were burned out Wednesday night.
The store was entirely destroyed and the
loss will fall very heavily on the firm, as
they carried but a s., 400 insurance, and
had just received a heavy consignment of
new goods worth, with the entire stock,
about 5000. Nothing was saved from the
grocery but the dime store stock was saved
in damaged condition. o. H. Ison, w.
NJ. Holman & Co., J. n. Harris g. Son and
J. II. Keith all suffered more or less loss
from moving their goods. D. j. Bailey,
Jr., owned the burned building, but his loss
is partially covered by insurance.
The National Central Committee Of the
Prohibition party was considerably shaken
up Wednesday out in Chicago by the re-
quest or the demand of Mrs. Lawrence
Lord to be placed on the committee as a
representative from Georgia. She has been
living in Chicago the past three months,
exhibited great interest in the prohibition
proceedings, and claimed that she was a
member of the committee in Pittsburg last
year. Mrs. w. G. Sibley, State President
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
for Georgia, sent the following telegram to
Chicago Thursday: ''To the National Pro-
hibltion Convention, Chicago, Ill, care
ex-Gov. st. John: Mrs. Lord is not a Geor.
gian; does not live here now; was only here
short time and can not represent Georgia
any way"
Caleb Griffin, of the Twenty-eighth dis
trfct OF Sumter county, had a very fine COW
attacked by hydrophobia a few days ago
She was with his other cattle, and noticing
that she was acting very strangely, he put
her in a lot by herself In few minutes
her eyes were of a glaring green color and
her tongue swollen, while thick froth fell
from her mouth. She was very vicious, try.
ing to gore and bite all who were on the out
side of the pen She would bite the rails
and make growing noise like dog. John
Griffin. son, who lived at another place
went into the lot to examine her. She nc
sooner saw him when she uttered roar and
went for him at full speed. John ran for the
fence, leaped over, and she ran full tilt
against 1T, scattering the rails generally
She stood there biting and goring them, and
was killed to put her out of misery and tx
prevent further mischief.
